ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ
𝑨 = 𝑨𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
Ragnar is very affectionate. He’s like a dog - he likes to nuzzle his face in your neck or stomach. He loves when you play with his hair, or run your nails over his skin. Ragnar is a very touchy person.
𝑩 = 𝑩𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒚 (What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?)
That you can put him in his place. When you lean your head against his shoulder. The colour of your eyes. Ragnar sees a lot of beauty in you. Some days you have to remind him that the sun doesn’t actually shine out of your ass.
𝑪 = 𝑪𝒖𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒔 (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)
HE LOVES TO CUDDLE. The most cuddly. But a very ... forgetful cuddler? Many times he’s forgotten that you’re in his arms and he’ll wake from a nightmare and accidentally throw you off the bed.
𝑫 = 𝑫𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒄 (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
He’s a King, he doesn’t do his own cleaning, and doesn’t expect you to either. There’s no chance of Ragnar settling down, he does want kids. But he doesn’t want to stay in one place too long. It’s the adventurer in him. It’s his destiny to seek out the world. But there comes a time when all he wants to do is go home.
𝑬 = 𝑬𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 (When something is bothering them, how do they act around you?)
Ragnar always tries to hide whatever is bothering him. He doesn’t want to weigh you down with the information. But you’ve spoken to him about keeping things hidden. You want to be involved in decisions and that means knowing the whole truth. Whenever he’s upset, or worried, his goofy nature dials back.
𝑭 = 𝑭𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒆 (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
Ragnar would be quick in wanting to be married. Although he doesn’t want to settle down in one place, he does want a wife (or many ... wives?) and have as many kids as possible.
𝑮 = 𝑮𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒍𝒆 (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
Ragnar is gentle with you. Not so much other people, his flimsy nature can put others in the firing line. But with you, he’s always gentle. Some days he forgets that words can hurt, and he may go too far. But so does everyone, he does apologise for it though.
𝑯 = 𝑯𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 (Do they tell you about their childhood? Their trauma? The sides of themself that they keep hidden from the world.)
Ragnar says he’s an open book but getting the past out of him is difficult. Either he doesn’t like the way he’s acted in the past, or he has so much in his head that he forgets. Either way, you’ve had to nearly pull the information out of him. He’s very touchy about his mother though, and Rollo won’t even bring her up.
𝑰 = 𝑰 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 (How fast do they say the L-word?)
Very fast. Probably the third time he saw you in a romantic setting. He falls in love very quickly.
𝑱 = 𝑱𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒚 (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
Yes he does get jealous, but from afar. He won’t show you he’s jealous, especially if another man is showing you attention. But will act like you have another lover:
“Oh, sorry. I thought you were busy tonight. With your new husband...”
𝑲 = 𝑲𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)
Breathtaking. Overwhelming. Sudden. When he kisses you, you aren’t able to think of anything else. No other thoughts can enter your mind when Ragnar is kissing you.
Ragnar likes to kiss your lips, but more so your neck. Sometimes it can be innocent, but more often than not it leads to something more.
𝑳 = 𝑳𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 (How are they around children?)
Ragnar is great with children, as he has a childish side. The crazy stories that kids come up with never faze Ragnar, and he usually indulges them.
“Ragnar! My mother turned into a giant this morning!”
“I know, I saw her hanging out the washing.”
𝑴 = 𝑴𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 (How are mornings spent with them?)
Ragnar hates getting up. He’s always groaning about wanting five more minutes. But that usually turns into ten and then fifteen. You’ve tried pulling the blankets from him, but he fell asleep anyway. You’ve also tried pushing him out of bed but he just sleeps on the floor. You’re next experiment is pouring cold water on his head.
𝑵 = 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 (How are nights spent with them?)
The nights are usually for feasting, and then he wants to sit in front of the fire and have you tell him about your day. He doesn’t like not being involved in your life.
𝑶 = 𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒏 (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
You’re still finding things out about Ragnar. It was very hard to separate fact from fiction, because the townspeople like to create stories about him and pass them off as truth. But you know Ragnar, and you told him that you will believe nothing until he tells you directly.
𝑷 = 𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 (How easily angered are they?)
Ragnar is only quick to anger when he’s insulted or someone has insulted you. Otherwise, he’s as cool as a fish in winter. Oh, or if he’s been mentally bested by an opponent.
𝑸 = 𝑸𝒖𝒊𝒛𝒛𝒆𝒔 (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
You thought Ragnar forgot about many things. And sometimes he does, but he remembers the colour of your eyes, especially after a long time apart, and he remembers the first day you met. He remembers your birthday ... but only your birthday. Sometimes he forgets his own, and definitely forgets Rollo’s.
𝑹 = 𝑹𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
The first time you got mad at him. You had picked up one of his shoes and threatened to throw it at him. He dared you. So you did. It was that moment that he was sure you could handle him. And he completely fell in love.
𝑺 = 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒚 (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
Ragnar is very protective over you, but he knows you can handle yourself. He won’t be by your side all the time, but will keep an eye on you during battles. And if someone makes you uncomfortable, he’ll go up to them, wrap an arm around their shoulders and whisper in their eye to fuck off.
𝑻 = 𝑻𝒓𝒚 (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
He doesn’t remember anniversaries, and I don’t think you do either. But he does go out of his way to make certain nights special. To make sure it’s only the two of you together, sitting in front of the fire, or out in the woods in the summertime. He does like to take you to these ethereal, almost magical places in nature.
𝑼 = 𝑼𝒈𝒍𝒚 (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
Will fart and burp without hesitation. And will go take a piss wherever he feels like it. Sometimes you think he may be part animal, maybe a dog.
𝑽 = 𝑽𝒂𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚 (How concerned are they with their looks?)
Historically speaking, Vikings were actually really hygenic. Much more than the Englishmen, or alternatively known as the Anglo-Saxons. Fiction writes that England was the progressive and most knowledgable society. But Vikings bathed way more often, brushed and washed their hair and ... generally cleaned themselves.
So Ragnar follows those customs - his hair washed and braided, he always cleaned himself up, especially after battle. But in terms of vanity - when caring about how attractive he looks ... he doesn’t really care. He knows that he’s a good-looking man, but doesn’t spend his days looking in the mirror and preening over himself.
𝑾 = 𝑾𝒉𝒚 (Reasons why they love each other)
Ragnar loves you because not only do you encourage him, but you’re by his side, wanting to experience everything with him. Ragnar adores your creativity and open-mind. You’re just as much of a dreamer as he is.
𝑿 = 𝑿𝒚𝒍𝒐𝒑𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒆 (What’s their song)
Eris Steals The Book by Harry Gregson-Williams
𝒀 = 𝒀𝒖𝒄𝒌 (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
Someone close-minded, who couldn’t or refused to think out of the box. Or someone who held him back, who didn’t believe in him and his dreams.
𝒁 = 𝒁𝒛𝒛 (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)
Talks in his sleep. Will have actual, long conversations while in slumber. At first, it would freak you out, but after a while, you got used to it.
